Pardon Me For Your Time Mr Math Geek
 
Use five 5's, all four operations, and parenthesis to make 25.

TIA: For anyone who can help

((5-5)/5+5)*5 = 25

(11111)+(11111)+(11111)+(11111)+(11111)=25

Isn't 0/10=0 and 0*5=0?
Unless I'm reading wrong or remembering the wrong rules.

try it this way
(((5-5)/5)+5)*5=25
0/5=0
0+5=5
5*5=25

Was that french math or something? Cause I couldnt read that at all......stick to english fellas!!

Matt G 02-09-2013 05:06 PM

I knew it had to end with 5*5, but that as far as I got. I asked my wife and within 45 seconds she had it. I didn't realize I married a nymph-o who's also good at math!!!

jchief 02-09-2013 08:32 PM

I mean the answer to Math Geek's equation.

Also, ((((5/5)+5)*5)-5) = 25....I think
5/5 = 1
1+5 = 6
6*5 = 30
30-5 = 25
